FunkyR: As a Man u shld be ashamed of yourself. It obvious u are not taking care of her well. Because if u are she wont be stealing from u. Kmt

babyosisi:

All you stingy men
How dare you call your wife a thief
U need to ask for forgiveness immediately


My husband was hiding his wallet and sometimes putting it under his pillow just because I was taking little chicken change from it for lunch
Nonsense !!
How can a woman steal from her own husband
Are we not joined in holy matrimony again?
In Igboland wives are lovingly called odoziaku which translates to mean " the one who arranges the wealth"
Your own is to bring in the money,allow me to arrange it na ,as expected
I pitied him sha one day long ago when we had no credit cards ,he came home ranting about how he was so embarrassed at the store When it was time to pay and he Opened his wallet and the cash was depleted
I said ewoooo, di m oma
I am so sorry
But did it stop me ?
Whosai
If a man has 5 $20 bills in the wallet I bought him for Christmas why can't a woman who bore him bouncing baby boys take one or two $20 as the spirit leads
I don't do it as much anymore
I now ask him first and if he says no i have no cash on me and I go to the wallet and see cash,he can't come back and claim that he had cash
Abi?
Love u boo

I fail to see the need for your aggressive response, I asked because I wanted to know if there was such a law tryly and you sounded very confident with your comment but your response indicates that you are not certain. What you are doing is coming to a conclusion based on your opinion and certain facts. I looked at the article you quoted it does not say a spouse cannot steal from their partner, it depends on the circumstance. This is a forum where people discuss and exchange ideas, it seems too many cannot without being rude.

sunkoye: your wife cant steal your money na, she took it!..... op...trust me, u are nt matured enof for marriage. gba!

Fhemmmy:

OK, but you wont steal the money that is yours and his, would you?

dayokanu:

Most women here are preaching that in Marriage everything becomes shared

So his money becomes your money and your money becomes his money

gohamburg:

I feel u dear...u said it all.I call it sharing.Hubby is welcomed to share from my own wallet too.

hectortex: I have got this little problem. Am a cash person, i carry much cash around more than i might need at a time.
At first i blamed my sister for the shortages i encounter because she used to do that way before i got married until she swore to me she dosent have access to my money with my wife around. my wife has also been privy to my decision to cut her allowances on several occassions cos of this same issue. until this morning, i discovered yet another shortage and due to a mild fever last nite, i was practically in our room the whole nite. so there was no question of anybody else taking anything in my absence. Ok i was very mad so i grilled her and threatened to make things difficult if i didnt get the money all the while hoping i was wrong about her.
this evening she opened up on how she did it and has been doing it for a while.
my problem is not like she hasnt got money, i make sure of that. she got access to about 50grand right inside our room but couldnt take her hands off my wallet.
i dont know how to handle this; am thinking of pulling a plug on all her allowances except the very basic ones and keeping my wallet far above her reach. I just dont know if its a right move.
If you were in my shoes,what would you do??

N.B: mod please i would want this to remain here in the family section

KenGali: The ladies are right, totally right!
That's why a man should have two wallets,
One for him and his wife,
And one that wholly belongs to the wife, but kept by him for her, out of her reach.

On a more serious note, every man should set aside that element of you income that will make you the superman your family expects.
The wifey wants a superman who never notices when his wallet has been touched by painted nails.
Only way to achieve that is to double your wallet allowance! You cannot do that if you have no superman allowance!
Stop getting annoyed, just budget for them!

logica: LOL. Because your wallet is empty abi? OK na...

hectortex: Its been interesting reading all the comments here. But then I might need to clarify some things;
I am not stingy in any ramification of the word
I am not tough on money issues, I am a spendthrift so I absolutely understand when someone is a lil extravagant with allowances.
My wife is not a housewife cos she aint done with school yet. she s on IT.
And when I said there was money in the house, I mean money she had complete access to spend as she deems fit.

What I do not understand is the lie; not accepting that she took it when she knew very well I would take her word for it and beam my searchlights elsewhere.
I just do not understand the purpose and its obvious no one here knows. so I guess I would just have to ask her.

kunle4toye@yaho:
Op how could u let your wife b ridiculed like dis,d only thing she did dt was wrong was not owning up when u asked of d money,u should stop callin her a thief.

babyosisi: I will take it and I will make heaven
My name is already dia in the lambs book of life
Nothing you people say hia will delete it

babyosisi: The word stealing doesn't exist in the marital vocabulary

Babyosisi... Why didn't you just wait for me?

I had plans for us.. I would have stored your name with "You must chop my money" ringtone..

Why.... Why...

_{***Grabs rope, ties it around my waist and threatens to commit suicide if Babyosisi does not agree to be my second wife and Lolo***}

dammytosh:

That is where the stealing comes in that many posters here including you do not seem to understand.

She took the cash, lied about it, never owned up until all evidence pointed to her and she could not lie again.

I am surprised by the way a lot of posters here are seeing the whole issue. This goes beyond can my wife take money in my wallet without permission.

It is a case of my wife took it without my consent, she did not inform me after then, when i was looking for it, she denied it and we jointly accuse my sister of stealing. This is totally unacceptable.

Same rubbish most guys permit in their so called relationship. A girl confessed to cheating ONLY after being caught red handed and you go ahead saying, at least "she owned up"

I pity the rate of marriage crash that the next generation will witness if the so called guys can not stand up and correct their own house hold and stop it from being in disarray.

hectortex: Dfew

sunkoye: your wife cant steal your money na, she took it!..... op...trust me, u are nt matured enof for marriage. gba!

Michky: Fantastic! Well said. Dont mind many of those scarcely maritally experienced lovebirds. Funny when most of them speak like real authorities regarding marriage matters. A lot of them will certainly endup with failed marraiges if the continue with this mentality of theirs. Btw, many of them can even decifer what theft really means. I just dey tire for nairaland girls attimes. Honestly. Thank God for the few good ones.

Okay!

Here's the solution..

OP.. buy a steel safe:: I recommend the maksym yemelyanov..



Put it in your bedroom and lock it away with a combination of fingerprint lock, retina scan lock, number lock and password..

If you could call your wife a thief for taking change money out of your wallet (that I'm sure cant buy her a good shoe sef), then in the future when you start making millions and need to be carrying your money in a suitcase/Ghana must go bag, na armed robber you go call her..

I can't believe this ridiculousness I see here. Marriage is all about sharing..
